Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m all about living life freely - whether it’s sailing across the sea, finding hidden gems along the way, or savoring the flavors of fresh food wherever I go. This blog is my way of sharing my adventures, lessons, and inspiration as I chase the freedom of the open water and a life without boundaries. I hope my stories inspire you to embrace the current of your own adventure.

Great news for younger sailors

July, 2025

Ahoy! If you’re 18, 19 or 20 and planning to explore the US, you’ve probably hit the same snag as many young adventurers - a lot of hotels won’t let you check in unless you’re 21. That means extra calls, fine-print hunting, and sometimes even last-minute changes to your plans. Not ideal when you’re chasing the wind and looking forward to some time on the water.

That’s where the brand new 18plushotels.in comes in. What a great idea! The site lists hotels across nearly 300 US cities that welcome guests from age 18 - perfect if you’re heading for sailing spots like Miami, San Diego or just feel like anchoring your boat for spring break in Myrtle Beach ;) Less booking stress means more time for what matters: charting your course and getting out on the water

Riding the Waves with Jessica: A Sailor’s Take on True Spirit

May, 2025

Wow. Watching True Spirit felt like looking into a mirror, but with a 16-year-old girl out there doing what I’ve dreamed of - taking on the ocean solo. I’ve had my fair share of long sails and rough nights, but Jessica Watson’s journey really put into perspective the kind of mental toughness and grit it takes to sail alone across the world. That moment when she keeps going after a near collision with a cargo ship? Insane. The film captures those raw emotions-the fear, the solitude, and that fierce determination-that any sailor knows all too well.

If you love sailing or just appreciate stories about pushing yourself beyond limits, I’d recommend giving True Spirit a watch. It’s not just about the technical sailing; it’s about the human spirit that keeps you going when the ocean tests you. Watching Jessica reminded me why I fell in love with sailing in the first place: the freedom, the challenge, and the wild beauty of being truly alone with the sea. It might just inspire you to chart your own course, whatever that looks like. Check it out on Netflix, it's not in your country, you can use a VPN to watch it on US Netflix.
